Given our history, it's easy to believe

About the school shootings in Connecticut, I hear people say, "I can't believe it," or, "Why?"

The stories I'm hearing is that the shooter's mother owned the guns. What is she doing with weapons of mass destruction? Didn't we cut funding for mental health and close many mental institutions a few years ago?

If the mentally ill have no place to turn to for help, and if any civilian with enough money to buy them can own weapons of mass destruction, then, yes, America, believe it. Connecticut will continue to happen.
